What a bully romance should be!

I nearly couldn't function until I finished this book! My blood pressure is still up from reading thus story and I've never loved to hate so many characters in one book as much as I did this one.

loved it!! Abby is fierce and strong, love that about the book

4.5 Ummmmm. What did I just read and where the heck am I? stars!!!!

This book took me for a freaking ride and left my head completely spinning! So much suspense, drama and deceit. Who can you really trust when everything revolves around power and money? I don't think anyone knows!

What started out as a fantastic enemies to lovers / bully style romance read, ended as so much more than I expected from this author! Trust was shattered. Bonds were broken. Lies were revealed. And yet, there are still so many questions that remain unanswered, leaving me reeling for the next book in the series.

I didn't know whether I wanted to fall head over heels for this book or seethe in anger or both all at the same time. The story line was amazing, with so many twists and turns. The characters were vindictive and cruel but loyal to a fault. Each one brought something unique to the story, especially the two leads Camden and Abby. The entire read I kept thinking to myself, "this can't get any more f*ck#d up!" and then was proven wrong five seconds later. Portions of this story were hard to read and not for the faint of heart. But I feel like those moments brought some raw and honest emotion to the book. You empathized with various characters, felt for them, hurt for them wanted revenge and retribution for them.

I cannot wait to see what comes next for the Rydeville High Elite! I'm sure it's going to be chaotic and deceitful and steamy! Well done Siobhan!

This has to be hands down the best book I've read this year.

Oh how I love a good bully romance! But this one--this one has more than meets the eye. Abby, our fmc is still in high school and already ARRANGED to be MARRIED to one of Rydeville's Elite, with a preplanned future where she must do her duty and obey. Enter Camden, intent on toppling down Rydeville's Elite and establishing a new one. A tormentor to the core, Camden flips Abby's world upside down and nothing will be the same again.
I wholeheartedly loved this book--the angst and deceit, the dirty talking bad boys, the way the author takes you on a roller coaster of emotions before ending in a major cliffhanger--this book was definitely it for me.

The struggle is real and what side you pick matters. The characters are fierce and have strength beyond what they know. Duty, honor, sacrifice, and pain is all they know. They forced their way into my heart and never let go. The story twists and turns flawlessly taking us on the ride of our life. They're in a fight to survive and along the way you wonder if you will too.


***ARC provided for an honest review***

This book was an intense wild ride that had me guessing so much. The ending shocked me. I’m definitely continuing the series to see what happens next.

I enjoyed this book.

It's my first book by Siobhan Davis, and she just go herself another fan. This book was dark, twisted, with amazing characters, I love bullies and enemies to lovers romance and this book has everything. I devoured this book. Rydeville High is been run by four families, now a new group wants to take over. You will get bullying, steamy hot scenes, and everything you love in a series with angst and drama to get you on the edge and keep you enticed. I can't wait for the next book.

Right off the bat - the constant overuse of the word “elite” got on my absolute last nerve!

There was also a lot of incredibly cringy, far fetched dialogue. I was also expected to suspend all sense of reality to read this, especially when it came to school. Pfffff.

Also, while I quite enjoy a cruel, bully romance, I hated that this far surpassed that. Sexual assault (because let’s not pretend it was anything else) is just a bit much. So what if they’re hot and she might have a love/hate thing going on with the main peanut, kidnapping and grabbing at her and doing things to her is not okay in the slightest. There is illegal shit going down, not just the regular cruelty you would expect.

I quite like Xavier’s character, but the rest of them sucked. And the events were so far out there and quite a bit childish. Also, a lot of public exhibitionist groping going on, and Jackson was just way too responsive to it. Ick?

So yeah. Overall I can’t say I loved it. I’ll read the next one to see how it goes, but I don’t know. I’ve read worse though, but don’t know that this is what I was hoping it would be.
